Why have you chosen to settle in France and the Rhône Alpes region?
Siemens has realised that Grenoble and the Rhône Alpes region have a very impressive background in the development and engineering of all sorts of technologies for electric energy and electronics, which matches perfectly Siemens’ history of 160 years of engineering and electronics. One of the main advantages of Grenoble for Siemens is the local universities, which offer a large number of well trained graduates every year from which we can recruit our employees. We are adding these new employees to an already experienced staff of employees working in project management, engineering and research and development. During the past two years, we have already recruited 100 new employees in Grenoble.
